How to not pay the BBC!

  A Rough Guide to the BBC TV Licence. (How I don't Pay as I don't need one in England) This is not legal advice just a bit of help. If you study the BBC rules and regulations it is totally clear you need a TV Licence to watch or record any live broadcasts or IPlayer. What does this mean? If you watch ITV or SKY News as the programs are broadcast live or you watch anything on IPlayer you need to buy a TV Licence. If you watch any other catchup service you don't need one, so Netflix, prime and Disney these are all fine to watch. You can even watch catch up on sky services but you couldn't watch live sports. Its ONLY LIVE TV and IPlayer that matter. The BBC only care about one thing and that is getting their money off everyone whether they need a licence or not. They have a database of all unlicensed properties there is no opt out of the database which they think is a scary point. They will send you letters usually every 2 months with many threats and harassments...
